40% of Americans could not handle a $400 unexpected expenditure. With what is happening now, for millions of Americans that day just arrived. We need immediate economic relief straight into the hands of people and we need it now.

Tulsi Gabbard has proposed a bill, and there has also been one proposed by Ro Khanna and Tim Ryan. I haven’t researched them deeply enough to know which one I think is best.

Haven't you heard; @realDonaldTrump wants to pass a payroll tax break which will not benefit any worker who is no longer working. They need financial help now; not later. #CoronaVirusCrisis. 💉😷💉🇺🇸

The suggested trickle-down dole is the most that the needy may hope for from parasitic, plutocratic capitalism. Understand how American politics really works and you will see the need for a revolution: ishinobu.com/podcasts/politi…

Thank you for using Your Power to push forward urgent help. Some economist suggest $2,000 per adult, and $500 per child. If anyone can speak to this issue and advise .@POTUS , it's you A woman of Tremendous Faith.

QE for the banking sector in 2008/9 should now be applied to people. Money should be parachuted to every adult in the land to keep the economy working. The level should be £800 per month for 6 months. This figure to be reviewed as part of AI contingency plans. .@BorisJohnson

@AndrewYang proposed #UBI, thankfully it's getting bipartisan support now. Congress, listen to the people! #MoneyForThePeople. During this crisis, support a $1,000/month stimulus. Then consider keeping it, as it will have a positive impact on our economy. 🧢

Why wait for government? In my small community the church is helping. People in need just have to drive up to the church parking lot, not even have to get out of their cars, and receive boxes of food to help them through. Milk, bread, many unperishable foods also. No questions.
